TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN Be it known that I, E. A. GOODES, ofPhiladelphia, in the county of Philadelphiaq'andstate of Pennsylvania,have invented a new and improved Vegetable-Guter; and I do herebydeclare that the following is a full, clear, and exact descriptionthereof, which will enable those skilled in the art th make and use thesame,A

reference being ha-d`to the accompanying drawings, forming part of thisspecification, in whch- Figure 1 is a longitudinal section of myimproved gratei.

Figure 2 is across-section of the same, through vthe line a: z, fig. 1:

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

The object ot'.- this invention is to providea machine for. gratingvegetables in an expeditious and easy manner. It consists of a casecontaining a. grating-cylinder of pinched sheet metal, lor othersuitable substitute therefor, -and arranged in such a manner that thevegetables will be brought in contact with the gratingcylinder, and thegrated particles permitted to fall below into any suitable receptacle.The case is'provided with a. plunger for actuating the vegetablesagainst the cylinder, and the latter is also provided with a plunger forclearing out thel grated particles which may collect therein from timeto time. i

In the drawings- A. is the case, and

B the gratingmylihder, havingbearings in the sides of the case.

E is ahandle forrotating'the cylinder.

C ais plunger, having an extension, Gr, and handle D. This plunger fitsloosely within the case, and closes upon the contained vegetables, andactuates them down against the gratingfcylinder B as the latter isturned.'

a is 'a plunger ,within the grating-cylinder, and is operated by av rod,b, working through a cross-bar, d', aflixed across one'endof thecylinder. The oppositev end of the cylinder is open for the ejection ofthe grated particles by the plunger.

In operation,'the grated particles pass the cylinder-B and fall into thelower part of the case, which, in

Lpractice, is placed in or over any suitable vessel.

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- The grater,consisting of the grating-cylinder B, provided with crank-handle'E andplunger a, havinglrod c, andthe plunger C G, with its handle D, allconstructed and arranged within the case A to operate as hereinshown'and described for the purpose specified.
